It's a big one this time, so grab your popcorn and let's check out what's new at Rollbar.

Session Replay Beta

We've just released Beta 3 of Session Replay, and it brings a major upgrade to your telemetry. You can now capture a broader set of DOM events including input, status changes, clicks, page resizes, and drag-and-drop, all synced directly with your replays. This means you'll see a much clearer picture of how users interact with your app right before an error occurs.

A reminder: the public beta runs for about 2 more weeks. During this period, every Rollbar account includes 5,000 free replays per month. If you haven't pushed Session Replay into real traffic yet, now is the time.

WordPress Telemetry and Android ANR Detection

We've released two major SDK updates this month. First, our WordPress plugin v3.0 brings telemetry support with 219 pre-configured WordPress actions, giving you the full breadcrumb trail leading up to errors. The plugin now supports PHP 8.1 to 8.4, includes a refreshed admin UI that looks native to WordPress, and can be installed via Composer for better dependency management. Second, our Java SDK now includes ANR (Application Not Responding) detection for Android apps, which captures thread information when your app freezes so you can see exactly what caused the hang. We've also updated the minimum SDK to 21 and target SDK to 33 to keep pace with Android's latest requirements.

Webhook Auto-Shutoff

We've shipped automatic webhook shutoff to protect your integrations from error storms. If a webhook rule hits 100 or more errors within an hour, we'll automatically disable it and send you a notification with the failing URL and a link to re-enable it in your settings. This means no more getting paged at 2am because a third-party service went down and your webhook started flooding their API. You stay in control, and you can turn the rule back on once you've resolved the issue on your end or theirs.

AI Solve (Alpha)

We're working on a new AI feature that will help you solve your errors faster with less effort. We've been testing it in alpha on our own systems for the past few weeks, and the system analyzes errors and automatically creates PRs with potential fixes for your team to review.

Here's what it's already fixed for us:

• Fixed intermittent "Oops, that was unexpected" errors during logout or SAML-reauth
• Fixed leading cause of intermittent errors in Item List search
• Fixed intermittent slowdowns renewing live updates on Item List
• Fixed page crash in Item Merge if typing a search and then clearing the search
• Fixed laggy typing in comment textbox on Item Detail
• Fixed most intermittent errors loading the Summary tab on Item Detail
• Fixed crash rendering SDK setup instructions for certain languages
• Fixed error rendering alert messages on Account Members page

We're looking for more teams to join the alpha and help us refine this before a wider release. If you're interested in having AI create pull requests based on your Rollbar errors, fill out our early access form or follow us on X where we're building in public. Your feedback will directly shape how this feature works when it reaches GA.

Additional Bug Fixes

This month we fixed several issues that were creating friction in your workflow. Clearing all filters on the Item List page no longer empties the search bar. We resolved an error where rate limits couldn't be updated on certain accounts and fixed the usage bar not populating correctly. The Version page now loads environments properly on first load, and we've updated the Item List page to default to a 7-day timeframe instead of 24 hours, which better matches how most teams review errors.

As always, we love your feedback. Reach out to product@rollbar.com and let us know what you think. And if Rollbar has helped your team ship faster, share it with others. We offer up to $500 for each referral, and your friends get 20% off their first month.

New

You can now disable alert notifications directly in the Rollbar UI. This gives you more control during a spike or other noisy event, such as a misconfigured deployment. Visit the notification rules in your project settings and click the disabled button to pause the alert and re-enable it later. Now there is no need to delete and recreate the rule.

We’ve also updated the custom time picker on the Item List page. In addition to selecting specific start and end times, you can now use a “since” filter to view everything from a specific moment onward. It’s a small change, but it makes it easier to review error patterns after a deploy or other event.

As always, we’re looking to improve Rollbar based on your feedback. If you’d like to share ideas, feedback, or talk shop, just email us at product@rollbar.com. And if you love Rollbar, don’t forget to share it and get up to $500.

Session Replay is coming soon. If you want to learn more about what we're building or get early access, make sure to get on our list.

We've released a highly requested and very useful feature to our Project Access tokens screen. You can now see which tokens have hit their rate limit in the past 30 days, how often that happened, and how many occurrences were dropped as a result. This makes it easier to spot gaps in your data and decide whether you need to adjust token limits or scale your usage.

We’ve also released Rollbar Go v1.4.8, which includes minor improvements and internal changes to help maintain reliability. You can check out the full release notes on GitHub.

We’re continuing to improve how we surface token-related information, and, as always, we appreciate your input. If you have feedback—on this or other features, email us at product@rollbar.com. And if Rollbar has helped your team, feel free to share it with others.

New

Check out the new Rollbar MCP Server. It connects Rollbar with AI agents like Claude or Cursor to help you summarize errors, run root cause analysis on real data, and test potential fixes, right from your error payloads. No need to change your workflow; it’s a smart layer that helps your team triage faster. Get the full walkthrough on YouTube or learn more on our blog.

We’ve also released a few user experience updates based on customer feedback. You’ll now see a 30-day and 90-day history view in the Occurrence card on your dashboard, giving you a longer history and making trends easier to spot. On the Team page, you can search for teammates when viewing or adding them to projects, and we’ve added project names to the Deploys bar, which is helpful when working across multiple projects. Lastly, we’ve added an AI prompt instruction to guide the setup of a new project in your favorite AI IDEs for new projects, so it’s easier than ever to set up a new project with Rollbar.

On the SDK side, Rollbar Go v1.4.7 brings bug fixes and improved internal behavior. We’ve also updated our Terraform provider to v1.6.0, which now supports Encrypted Access Tokens for better security in infrastructure management.

As always, we’d love your feedback. Reach out to product@rollbar.com and let us know how we’re doing. Love Rollbar? Don’t forget to share it with your friends.

Fix

This release introduces a big improvement in Rollbar - enhanced security with the enablement of encrypted access tokens. From now on, newly created tokens are encrypted and can no longer be viewed through the UI or API after they are created. Users must copy and store their tokens securely upon generation, and tokens will only be identified by a new public ID, adding security and control to your Rollbar system. New tokens will also have flexible token lengths: 512 bits for maximum protection or 128 bits for compatibility with existing integrations, and a limited combined scopes rule to ensure private tokens aren’t shared publicly.

Note, this will not impact your current tokens, so no immediate action is needed. However, users can now encrypt their existing tokens for added security without affecting current functionality. We recommend encrypting your current tokens today. For more details, check out our blog or the Access Tokens documentation.

Also, we made some updates to our SDKs - pyrollbar v1.3.0 now supports Python 3.13, while removing support for Python 3.6. Rollbar-PHP v4.1.1 and Rollbar-PHP-Laravel v8.1.2 resolved a minor issue where TelemetryEvents could not handle a nested array as a $body argument. And following the end of life of Pivotal Tracker, we’ve removed Pivotal as a notification channel in Rollbar.

As always, we love your feedback. So reach out to us at product@rollbar.com and let us know what you think.

Key Changes:

• Improved Security: Newly created tokens are now encrypted and can no longer be viewed via the UI or API after creation. Users must copy and store their tokens securely upon generation.
• Optional Encryption for Existing Tokens: Users can now encrypt existing tokens for added security without affecting functionality.
• Flexible Token Lengths: New tokens can be 512-bit for maximum security or 128-bit for compatibility with existing integrations.
• Updated Scope Rules: The postserveritem and postclientitem scopes must now be issued separately, while read and write scopes can still be combined.

This release is for our PHP and Laravel developers. Our latest release introduces telemetry support in our PHP SDK and Laravel SDK, designed to give you the breadcrumb of events leading to an exception, error, or other report.

Rollbar-PHP v4.1.0 now supports PHP 8.4 and features telemetry enhancements that include a refined configuration filter. Similarly, the new Rollbar-PHP-Laravel 8.0.1-beta release comes with telemetry support and CI tests for Laravel 11, PHP 8.3, and PHP 8.4. These updates give you more dependable insights and smoother performance so you can spot issues quickly and keep your app running at its best.

We’ve also polished up our user experience. Our new search bar now features a handy search syntax help link so you can quickly reference syntax to find the errors that matter most. We’ve also reorganized the dashboard components list to match the visual order on your screen, ensuring that the interface feels more intuitive. Finally, our Rollbar-react SDK has been upgraded and is now officially supporting React 19 as requested by the community.

As always, we’re eager to hear your thoughts on these improvements. If you have any feedback or questions, reach out to the product team at product@rollbar.com.

If you use the Java SDK, Rollbar just got better! We’re excited to share an update with ProGuard that makes working with modern Java and Kotlin code even easier while improving overall reliability. Proguard now supports Java versions 14 through 23, including records, sealed classes, and other advanced constructs. These updates improve parsing accuracy, ensuring smoother deobfuscation and more reliable error mapping so you can pinpoint issues faster.

We’ve also enhanced ProGuard’s Kotlin support to handle recent versions better. You’ll experience fewer issues with null pointers, and the new deobfuscation improvements make it easier to trace errors and debug Kotlin-based applications.

If you haven’t updated PyRollbar in a while, now is the time. In version 1.1.0, we improved performance by enhancing the truncation algorithm for payload size, which helps with more reliable reports and improved performance. If you’ve encountered “payload size reached” errors, these updates could resolve that issue. We’ve just released version 1.2.0, adding the ability to send custom params sent through rollbar.report_message() that are searchable through our new Item Search. Grab the latest versions hot off the press!

On the bug fix front, we’ve addressed the longstanding issue where merging items would take around 20 minutes to reflect fully on the charts on the Item Detail page. Now, with our latest search enhancements, merges and unmerges are instantly reflected across our Item List and Detail pages, saving you more time debugging so you can focus on the high-priority work.

We’ve also fixed the new issue where Github Code-Context was unavailable for a few accounts, the page crashes when merging certain items, and the problem with Azure SAML logins.

As always, we love hearing from you to make Rollbar even better. Don’t hesitate to reach out to the product team at product@rollbar.com with any thoughts, questions, or ideas. Here’s to Happy Bug Hunting.

Improvement

We’re excited to announce a major improvement to Rollbar's search capabilities that will help you find exactly what you need faster and more accurately.

Now, in production, we updated the search with 50+ new fields available for filtering and analysis. Searching for items has never been faster, thanks to backend optimizations that reduce page load times and make applying filters smoother. We’ve also significantly improved the accuracy of search results, ensuring that you only see relevant occurrences that match your criteria.

In addition to these performance upgrades, we’ve introduced key/value searching for custom fields, allowing you to search directly within your custom data, request headers, trace frames, and more. This gives you more flexibility to pinpoint specific errors and trends faster.

To explore these new search capabilities, check out our search documentation for details on performing searches, use specific options, and viewing the full list of searchable fields.

It’s been a while since our last update, but we’ve been hard at work on some exciting new features that will roll out over the next few weeks.

To kick off the new year, we’re thrilled to share updates to the Related Tab feature, making it even easier to manage and investigate your items. The Related Tab helps you quickly identify connected items, showing if the same issue appears across your codebase or if related items might help you in debugging. Merging items is now seamless—you can combine related items directly from the Similar Items table, keeping your list organized so you can focus on real issues. We’ve also added new tables highlighting items introduced or reactivated in the same code versions, helping you spot patterns and address root causes more effectively. Read our blog to learn more!

We’ve also made a few minor updates, including redesigned Teams settings pages, small UI improvements to the item list and item detail pages, and bug fixes like missing Flutter logos and login redirect issues.

Lastly, we’ve updated the rollbar-java SDK to 2.0, which removes support for Java 7 and adds telemetry, alongside additional updates to Pyrollbar and rollbar-php.

As always, your feedback shapes the future of Rollbar. We’d love to hear from you at product@rollbar.com.

We’ve introduced updates to the Item List page to simplify bulk actions and give you more control over managing items. When you select multiple items, the new batch actions UI appears in a sidebar, making it easier to track the changes you’re applying. This sidebar offers a clearer view of each update, helping to prevent unintended edits across large selections. Additionally, we’ve enhanced the Merge Items sidebar to streamline your workflow when combining related items.

Other improvements in this release include updates to the Item Detail page and integrations. In PagerDuty, Rollbar URLs now open directly to the relevant item, making it quicker to review incidents. For reactivated items, you’ll see the code version that caused the reactivation, shown alongside the first and latest versions for easy reference. We’ve also made the body.message.body field visible and expandable within the occurrence list table, providing more detail at a glance. Finally, Apple OS 3.3.3 and React Native 1.0.0-beta.5 are now available, supporting compatibility with Cocoapods and XCode 16.

Keep that feedback coming. Your feedback is driving Rollbar's future, so please share your thoughts at product@rollbar.com.
